it is a question of sales tax or no sales tax. what the oregonians suggested to us is what they consider to be a perfect solution. remove any requirement for their internet retailers to collect sales tax from anybody. therefore, there be no federal mandate. well, let me remind them. there is no federal tax in this bill. there is no new tax in this bill. state and local, or federal. all we're asking for is the basics. the oregonians want to sell in an adjoining state like california, they'll collect the sales tax owed to california and pay it back. then i listened to him describe how onerous this would be. right now ebay, which is no friend of this bill, ebay offers a service available to businesses that they can buy that will tell them the exact sales tax to be collected based on your zip code and address, and that service cost -- listen to this onerous cost -- $15 a month. $15 a month. if you want to go to the highest cadillac version, $140 a month, less than $2,000 a year. incidentally, in our bill, we require the states that ar

this is not a new tax. it is in the a different tax. it is in the a tax we're applying to anybody. it is a mechanism for the collection of a tax that has been owed for over 20 years by people buying retail purchases in your states from people who sell out of state. i commend the leadership on the legislation. i hope everybody will bring their amendments to the floor. i don't know if there is any need for them. i hope we can send a clear message that we're prepared to let our local and state governments collect the tax that is owed to them and has been owed to them. my state of georgia's governor led a major tax reform package in my state that passed with only one dissenting vote. it reformed taxes on utilities for manufacturing to attract business to our state. it reformed our income tax code. it reformed a lot of our taxes but it also passed legislation consistent with the marketplace fairness act, so we can finally collect a tax that has been owed for a long, long time in our state. as a real estate guy, as someone who used to lease retail space in shopping centers and on corners

this bill does not create new taxes or increase existing tax taxes. instead, the bill will help states and cities collect billions in unpaid taxes already owed, reducing the need to raise new taxes on tax compliant businesses and citizens. indeed, yesterday i was with my governor and he indicated that if we could pass this at the federal level and allow the state of rhode island to collect approximately $70 million a year, he would propose a reduction in our sales tax, which would benefit all the people in rhode island and also benefit the businesses in rhode island because they would have a smaller sales tax margin to pay. so this is a proposal that i think is not only necessary, it's long overdue. in 2012, as i've indicated, rhode island estimated it lost approximately $70 million in uncollected revenue. the revenue was legally owed but because of this loophole, it went uncollected. this puts pressure on individuals and businesses that play by the rules. indeed, if the marketplace fairness act becomes law, rhode island has provisions in state law, a
